Chapter 42 Rescue

This heavy rain has been falling continuously for a week!

During this week, the rain has not stopped, and the intensity of the rain has not even subsided.

It seems that all the water vapor that has been in drought for nearly four months in the Fengnan area has fallen in Xiangping.

A week of continuous heavy rains, this amount of rainfall, even in modern times, is enough for the entire country to use resources to fight floods and provide disaster relief, let alone in ancient times with backward technology.

Fang Yu almost didn't need to think too much to guess that these rainy areas at this time were probably experiencing the same experience as Taguchi Village.

This sudden flash flood is destined to make some people who originally lived a stable life fall into displacement.

No one knows how many people will lose their lives in such a flash flood.

Previously, when Fang Yu was studying history, she had read that after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it encountered a Little Ice Age.

During that period, the entire surface temperature fell into low temperatures. Many crops froze to death due to the cold. All the firewood in the mountains was cut down. The supply of firewood and charcoal exceeded demand. In winter, countless families who could not afford charcoal froze to death in their homes.

The subsequent decline in national power of the Ming Dynasty also had this reason.

If this is the case in the Ming Dynasty, what about the Chu Kingdom?

There was drought before, then there was locust plague, and then there was flood.

Now Fang Yu wonders if the five years in the main plot were set wrongly?

Given this calamity, if Chu can survive for another year or two, it will be considered a blessing.

However, this is not something Fang Yu can consider now. He is nothing but a caveman. Thinking about this, it is better to think about how they will plan for the future after completing the side mission.

There are only three days left before the side mission.

During this week, the cave has turned into a "holy place" for insects, and no insects will appear at the entrance of the cave all the time.

For their own safety and to prevent snakes from getting into their pants again, Fang Yu and others tidied up the cave a little.

In the middle of the cave, Fang Yu and others dug a circular trench with wood.

They introduced rainwater into this small ditch, and Fang Yu and others rested in the middle.

The ditch is not big, but it is enough to prevent those flightless insects such as caterpillars or earthworms from crawling into it.

Then, at the entrance of the cave, Fang Yu used rattan and wooden sticks to make a door.

This door is very tightly made, at least the gap is difficult for even a centipede to get through, thus preventing any more snakes from crawling into the hole.

And this fence door is built on the inside hole, and the outside passage is not blocked, so even if a snake is blocked, it may still be coiled outside.

Therefore, in the next few days, several people were very cautious when opening the door.

And sure enough, the day before yesterday, through the reserved hole as thick as a finger, Fang Yu discovered that there was a small green snake entangled outside the entrance of the cave.

This little snake is green all over and has tiny scales. It looks very beautiful.

However, the spindle-shaped snake head and the familiar appearance told Fang Yu that this was a poisonous snake.

Bamboo leaves are green.

This is the modern name for this snake.

But here, when Fang Sanduo saw it, he exclaimed "a green leaf".

This is a name for Fangjia Village.

But whether it is a green bamboo leaf or a green leaf, it shows that this is a poisonous snake!

Some people may wonder why there are so many insects and snakes appearing in the mountains and forests at this time when there is no food left.

In fact, in the biological world, insects are very resistant to hunger.

After most insects eat once, they can basically keep it for two weeks to a month without eating again.

Because their activity level is not high.

And even if there is a lack of food on the surface, it does not mean there is a lack of food underground.

Insects such as ants and beetles that live underground have a very complex diet. When necessary, they will eat each other to stay alive.

Therefore, even though the surface of the earth looks bare, a unique biological chain is still alive and well underground.

The power of living things is far greater than we imagine.

If it hadn't been for the heavy rain this time, they would still be surviving underground.

Snakes, on the other hand, are also notoriously resistant to hunger, and can maintain their functions for a long time after just one meal.

Take Bamboo Leaf Green as an example, it is one of the snakes that has the strongest hunger tolerance. After eating once, they can stay healthy without taking in food for 4 to 5 months.

Of course, there are also creatures that are intolerant of hunger, but they are basically large animals, like humans.

For humans, famine, locust plagues, and floods are very scary, but for these creatures, it is just like that, not worth mentioning.

This bamboo leaf green naturally died tragically under Fang Yu's stick.

Then, it also became part of the family's food reserve.

In the past few days, many earthworms, frogs and the like have come to the cave.

They were all hunted by Fang Yu and others and used as food.

Because insects are one of the favorite hosts of parasites, including snakes.

Therefore, Fang Yu was extremely careful when eating them. He really roasted them first and then boiled them. When cooking, he would rather cook them repeatedly until the meat was cooked to pulp, and then he dared to eat them.

Thanks to the timely "replenishment" of these creatures.

Fang Yu and the others successfully lived in the cave for a week and were still in pretty good condition.

Now, there are only three days left before the mission is completed.

Although the food is only enough for one day, if you eat reluctantly, you can still survive for three days.

And within these three days, if you make do and catch some earthworms and frogs, you can supplement one or two meals.

In this way, the past three days have basically been considered stable.

However, the current image of the three of them is very close to that of savages.

Before going up the mountain, the three of them spent some time as human beings in Taguchi Village.

As a result, not long after the good days, he was driven up the mountain by flash floods.

In just over a week, the three people who were still human were no longer human.

Rainy days are different from dry days.

In dry weather, body odor is mainly caused by body odor, but clothes, hair, etc. are considered dry and are fine.

And on this humid rainy day, not to mention the clothes, the hair alone was full of oil and water vapor, and Fang Yu and the other three were even able to catch lice in their hair!

Then there's the appearance.

This can only be said to be more decent than primitive humans.

At least I'm wearing clothes.

In this way, until Fang Yu fell asleep again at night, suddenly the system prompt sound came to his ears again.

"Boom~"

Fang Yu, who had not fallen asleep to begin with, opened her eyes like bells at the sound of the notification sound.

It was already dark at this time, and Fang Yu and the others were lying huddled on a simple bed made of wooden sticks.

These wooden sticks were all wet wood brought in before, roasted a little, and then set up with vines.

The middle is barely woven with vines.

But it was still very uncomfortable to lie down on it.

However, the three of them are all experts in the wilderness. Although they slept on comfortable and flat beds some time ago, they adapted quite quickly after returning to the mountains and forests.

Open the task panel.

The panel that only Fang Yu could see appeared in front of her eyes. Fang Yu directly ignored other related items and opened the task panel with the yellow dot flashing.

"Side Mission: [Rescue]"

"Task description: The heavy rain has stopped, the flash floods have receded, and you are in a difficult situation. Can you still lend a helping hand to those who are also suffering from the same disaster?"

"Mission goal: rescue refugees (0/3)"

"Mission reward: mask grid points +50~150, perfect elixir (C)*1~3, all rescues successful, additional opportunity (luck)*1"

uh-huh?

Rescue refugees?

Can this also be turned into a side quest?

When Fang Yu saw the target of this mission, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

You know, in Taguchi Village, there were hundreds of lives lost before, and the system didn't let him rescue them. But this time, by rescuing three people, he could complete a side mission, and the reward was even quite generous.

Moreover, after all are rescued, there is still a chance of luck!

This fully shows that the identities of these three people are probably not simple.

Although this kind of words seems a bit like distinguishing between high and low life, Fang Yu actually doesn't feel much about it.

There is no distinction between high and low in life.

This sentence is true.

But the problem is, after this tube is born, the nobleness and disgrace will naturally come.

This is determined by the nature of society.

The nature of a stable society should be pyramid-shaped.

Someone will always be at the top, it's inevitable.

Instead of shouting for equality, you should work hard to push yourself up. After you push up, you will look back at those people who shouted for you, and you will understand what it feels like.

Of course, in this case, there will definitely be people who win, like the rich second generation or something, but this is normal, after all, his father worked hard.

After passing the mission goal, Fang Yu's eyes fell on the reward.

Needless to say, the mask grid is only useful after the main plot is completed. The reward of the perfect elixir (C) at the end made Fang Yu's eyes light up.

After clicking on the reward introduction, Fang Yu became more and more excited as she read.

It turns out that this perfect elixir (C) is the upgraded and enhanced version of the No. C elixir that Fang Yu obtained from the Spiritual Bishop.

The original No. C elixir, in addition to being addictive, based on the state of Huangmei later, Fang Yu judged that it should consume a large amount of the human body's potential life potential to restore the body.

That is to exchange lifespan for health.

After using this thing, the rest of the time can be regarded as a return to the past.

It can be seen from this that this elixir is, in a sense, a kind of ultimate poison.

After drinking it, you will die of old age early.

This kind of medicine has not been researched by anyone in modern times, and no one knows how the spiritual bishop developed it. It is quite miraculous.

The perfect elixir (C) rewarded by the system is the perfect healing elixir after excluding these side effects.

After one bottle, as long as the injury is not like a broken limb, it can be healed.

This drug! It’s unscientific!

Oh? System? Only I can have it? That’s okay~

In addition to this perfect elixir, Fang Yu was also greedy for the opportunity behind it.

Although there may have been some systematic arrangements in recent days, Fang Yu also felt that there seemed to be a big problem with her luck.

Now that a fortune opportunity has appeared, it means that his subsequent luck can be changed.

You’ve suffered so much, why don’t you give me some candy?!

Nothing else, I hope it won't be so exciting next time.

But after thinking about it, Fang Yu realized that he had basically experienced these natural disasters all over again, and if they continued, there would be only divine punishment.

It's the kind that strikes with lightning.

As a result, he felt the corners of his mouth twitching.

No, change your luck, change your luck, this must be changed!

Anyway, for Fang Yu, there are not many tasks issued by the system. Each task is precious. As long as there are no special circumstances, he will naturally try his best to complete it perfectly.

Otherwise, what should I do if it gets stuck later?

Because of this sudden task, Fang Yu was itching for this task in the middle of the night, but he couldn't go out now, so he simply controlled himself to enter the ideal state of the interior through breathing techniques, adjusted his mentality, and polished it a little

Lower your spirits.

Although this will consume the body's energy, who knows how this task will be opened. It will obviously be better if you can maintain your own condition better.

In this way, the night gradually passed.

When the sky was getting brighter, Fang Yu was surprised to find that the sound of rain outside seemed to...disappear?

At the same time, at the other end of the mountain forest where Fang Yu was, across the "Yellow River" from Taguchi Village, there was an isolated island.

In fact, it is not an isolated island.

This is actually another hilltop.

However, the "Yellow River" has not retreated at this time, and the foot of the mountain is still submerged in water.

And the height of this mountain is not high. Before, it should be regarded as just a hill.

When the "Yellow River" rose before, it almost submerged to the top of the mountain.

The water level had dropped a lot at this time, but the height between the top of the mountain and the water surface was only seven or eight meters at most, so it seemed like the top of the mountain was like an isolated island.

At this time, on the top of this "isolated island", there was a crooked-neck tree.

This crooked-necked tree must have been struck by lightning or for other reasons. The entire tree broke off from the lower end about two meters high and fell down.

With such a break, the tree should have died long ago.

But the miracle of life made this tree miraculously come back to life.

The broken part actually grew back.

And for some reason, a small tree grew out of the fallen tree crown.

It makes this place look so magical.

At this time, in the space where the tree trunks collapsed and the ground formed a triangle, there was actually a carriage stuck!

If Fang Yu were here at this time, he would be able to recognize that this carriage is not the one they kept at home?

At this time, there were three people nesting in this carriage.

Two women and one man.

The three of them were all very well-dressed, and they looked like they were no ordinary people.

One of them, a slightly older one, was leaning against the inside of the carriage, lying inside, breathing weakly, with a reddish face and dry lips. He seemed to have a fever.

The other two looked younger. The woman looked about the same age as Fang Yu, and the other one was slightly younger. She still looked about seven or eight years old. At this time, the girl was handing the water bag to the girl.

little boy.

The boy opened the water bag and drank the last sip of purified water. He licked his lips with a hint of unfinished expression, but found that this was already his last sip. He looked at the girl and said with a hint of crying.

"Sister...there is no water...I drank all the water...what should I do, you haven't drank it yet..."

The boy found that he had drank the last sip of water, but his sister had no water to drink, which made him blame himself.

But the girl just comforted the boy softly.

"It's okay, sister is not thirsty..."

But her dry and flaky lips were not convincing at all.

The little boy opened his mouth to say something, but he found that it seemed useless now, so he could only lower his head dejectedly.

It was just getting dark, and the girl looked at the woman lying at the back of the carriage, where her brother couldn't see her. Her eyes were full of anxiety, helplessness, and... helplessness.

But the moment she turned her head, in front of her brother, she could only pretend that everything was hers.

Just when her heart was in a mess, she suddenly heard the sound of rain outside seeming to be gradually weakening.

Her expression changed, she opened the jammed carriage door and looked out.

Sure enough, the rain that was still falling gradually stopped within a few breaths.

Just like when it rains, it starts suddenly and ends just as suddenly.

Seeing that the rain had stopped, the girl finally had a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

I saw her turning her head and taking out a ball of firewood that was pressed in the carriage and was still wet.

Put the firewood on the ground, take out the tinder that you brought with you and cover it with dry tinder.

He took out another velvet coat from inside.

She picked an open space, laid out the firewood, lit the tinder with a flint, and placed the tinder on her coat. After the coat burned, she placed the firewood on top of the coat, and then began to pray.

You must stay on! You must stay on! Please!

After the girl's thoughts, the firewood finally caught fire with moisture. Because of the moisture, a lot of thick smoke came out, and the smoke billowed toward the sky.

The plume of smoke rises up into the wind, carrying with it the hopeful faith of a girl...
